Radical Party of America

The Radical Party of America was a minor political party in the United States that was formed in June, 1850. The party adhered to anarcho-liberalism, a radically left-wing political stance; the party never received a large percentage of the vote, and its members often voted for the US Republican Party. The party supported free trade, a laissez faire (hands-off) economic policy, making religion a private matter, giving full citizenship to immigrants, and supporting the army, and the US Libertarian Party is its spiritual successor due to their anti-establishment stances.
